Strand Theater Company Offers World Premiere of Glitter and Spew

One Flea Spare: An Honorable Defeat at the Strand
I like a theater of ideas as much as the next reviewer, but found that, in this somewhat trackless waste of a play, the ideas were either inarticulately expressed, trite, or both. The Strand Theater Company, dedicated to providing opportunities for female artists, writers, designers and directors, certainly fills a need. I only wish I could recommend this offering.
My Oh Mai
One gains an interesting perspective on a play based on Sophocles' 'Electra' when one watches in the company of a Greek. The angst, anger, and adultery that run through 'The Mai' are certainly appropriate, but where's the bloody body? If a play finds its roots in a Greek tragedy, somebody has to die.
